a) User account

You have the option of creating a user account on the website. In this account you can, among other things, view the status of the purchase process, the contact details of your broker and appointments. As part of the registration process, Ziegert GmbH processes the following personal data: Title, first and last name, e-mail address, telephone number. After registration, you will receive an e-mail from Ziegert GmbH with a link to confirm your registration. If you click on the confirmation link, you will be asked to set a password for your user account. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. The data will be stored until you deactivate your user account. Statutory retention obligations remain unaffected. Your personal data will also be made available to the broker whose offer you have made an inquiry about. The purpose of the data transfer is so that you can contact the broker directly and the broker can inform you of the status of the process via the account. The legal basis for the data transfer is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

b) Contact possibility

You have the option of contacting Ziegert GmbH via the website (e.g. by e-mail, via the contact form). If you make an inquiry or request the transmission of one of our brochures (e.g. Investor's Guide), Ziegert GmbH processes your personal data (depending on the inquiry, title, first and last name, e-mail address, telephone number, content of the message) in order to answer your inquiries.

If the processing of your request relates to services or offers of other companies of the Ziegert Group or requires the involvement of these companies, we will pass on your personal data so that the company can contact you directly. These companies are:

• Ziegert Bank- und Finanzierungsconsulting GmbH, Zimmerstraße 16, 10969 Berlin

c) Cooperation with other companies in the Ziegert Group

Depending on the assignment, it may be necessary for us to involve other Ziegert companies as part of the contract initiation or implementation process, e.g. if you seek advice from us on a property or service (e.g. financing). This enables us to tailor the offer to your needs in the best possible way. This cooperation enables us to put together suitable real estate offers and services for you from the wide range of Ziegert products and services. For this purpose, we exchange your personal data, i.e. name and e-mail address, with other Ziegert companies:

ZIEGERT Bank- und Finanzierungsconsulting GmbH, Zimmerstraße 16, 10969 Berlin, for advice on financing options for the purchase of a property.

In addition, we occasionally exchange personal data in order to offer you the opportunity to be informed about all services and offers of all Ziegert companies so that you can benefit in the best possible way from the close cooperation and the provision of services "from a single source". This procedure also corresponds to our legitimate interests of a full service offer. In this case, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The data collected will be stored for as long as is necessary for the contractual relationship or as long as you do not object to receiving the information. The data will then be deleted unless further data storage is required or justified by law.

bb) Marketing cookies

We use marketing cookies to display advertisements that are better suited to your interests. The cookies also help us to evaluate the effectiveness of our advertisements.

We currently use the following marketing cookies:

(1) Google Ads

In order to run online advertising campaigns and measure and improve their success, we use the Google Ads service, a service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, and conversion tracking as part of this. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. It enables Google to recognize your internet browser and records, for example, a unique cookie ID, the number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), the last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (ads with which the user no longer wishes to be addressed). These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. We learn the total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

We only use Google Ads if you give your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Google acts as the data controller for Google Ads and may process your personal data for other purposes. We have no influence on the data or the scope of data collection by Google. We also have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted to Google.

Users who do not wish to participate in tracking can also easily deactivate the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via their Internet browser under user settings by setting their browser to block cookies from the following domain: googleadservices.com. Alternatively, you can deactivate interest-based advertising at http://www.google.de/ads/preferences or disable general cookies at http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. These users are not included in the conversion tracking statistics.

Google uses a cookie ID to record which adverts are shown in which browser and can thus prevent them from being shown more than once.

In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests.

a) Use of the Newsletter provider GetResponse

The newsletter is sent via GetResponse, a service provided by GetResponse S.A. (limited liability company under Polish law), Arkonska 6/A3, 80-387 Gdansk, Poland.

GetResponse is a web-based platform that provides tools to build, manage and store a mailing list. The platform is stored on servers in Poland, France, Germany and the USA. GetResponse uses the e-mail address to send and analyze the newsletter on our behalf. However, GetResponse does not use your data to write to you itself or pass it on to third parties. For the transfer of your personal data to third countries for which there is no adequacy decision, we have concluded the EU standard contractual clauses (https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc/standard-contractual-clauses-international-transfers_de) with GetResponse and take additional security measures insofar as this is necessary to compensate for the lower level of data protection in the respective recipient country (e.g. the USA) compared to the level of data protection in the EU.

We trust in the reliability and IT and data security of GetResponse. We have concluded an order processing contract with GetResponse. This is a contract in which GetResponse undertakes to protect our users' data and to process it exclusively on our behalf.

The legal basis for the transfer of data is Art. 28 GDPR in conjunction with the data processing agreement.

The newsletters contain a so-called "web-beacon" (invisible graphics), i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the GetResponse server when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of access, is initially collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on the retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times.

The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked on. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is not our intention, nor the intention of GetResponse, to observe individual users. Rather, the evaluations serve to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

The legal basis for carrying out statistical surveys and analyses as well as logging the registration process is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is based on the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and the expectations of users.

b) Use of the mailing service provider Mailchimp

The newsletter is sent via MailChimp, a newsletter distribution platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

Your e-mail address is stored on MailChimp's servers in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and analyze the newsletter on our behalf. However, MailChimp does not use your data to write to you itself or pass it on to third parties.

We trust in the reliability and IT and data security of MailChimp. We have concluded an order processing contract with MailChimp. This is a contract in which MailChimp undertakes to protect the data of our users and to process it exclusively on our behalf. You can view MailChimp's privacy policy here https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/.

The legal basis for the transfer of data is Art. 28 GDPR in conjunction with the data processing agreement.

The newsletters contain a so-called 'web-beacon' (invisible graphics), i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the MailChimp server when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of access, is initially collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on the retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times.

The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked on. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is not our intention, nor the intention of MailChimp, to observe individual users. Rather, the evaluations serve to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

The legal basis for carrying out statistical surveys and analyses as well as logging the registration process is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is based on the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and the expectations of users.
